PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. 

THIS little work was prepared for my own use, 
as a labor-saver i and as a receptacle for clini- 
cal observations, and for gleanings from others and 
from the periodicals. 

It has been the work of odd moments, and little 
remnants of time, redeemed from busy days. 

Even the young physician, of a single summer's 
experience, must have felt the want of such a work, 
particularly when dealing with the frequently oc- 
curring and obstinate diarrhoeas of infants. It was 
the difficulty of treating these, that first awakened 
the desire to possess in one little work all that was 
known of our Materia Medica as applied to loose 
evacuations of the bowels. 

It has not been intended to include every remedy 
that has been known to purge, but only every 
remedy of which enough is known, either of its 
stools, or conditions, or concomitants, to distinguish 
it from any other remedy. 

But some may inquire. Why should diseases of 
the bowels be honored above others by a special 
monograph ? 



6 PREFACE. 

Those who have Boenninghauseii on Cough, on 
Fever, and on Headache, will not ask this question, 
but will desire that the work go on until we possess 
such special aids in the treatment of all affections 
that most tax the busy practitioner. 

The present work is now printed because col- 
leagues, who had seen it, desired to possess a copy 
— one going so far as to copy it himself, — because 
Mr. Tafel, who had seen it, desired to print it, and 
because the work had already repaid me for the 
time and labor it cost, in the same coin, and I was 
therefore happy to believe that it would be of like 
use to others. The clinical test will be found to 
disclose many valuable symptoms not to be met 
with elsewhere, and, alas, also, doubtless, many 
errors. 

The carefully collated experience of ten active 
years, which Jt contains, would indeed be better if 
they were twenty or thirty, but perhaps the Lord 
in his goodness will permit this to be added also. 

It would be a grateful task to indicate through- 
out the work, the sources from which many valu- 
able symptoms were drawn, but this w^ould detract 
from its practical character as a work of reference.

AUTHOR'S PREFACE TO THE SECOND 
EDITION. 

'T^HE material for a new edition of this little work 
has been collecting ever since the first was pub- 
lished, and such an edition has long been called for, 
but I do not think it would have ever seen the light, 
had I not persuaded my friend and successor. Dr. W. 
T. Laird, late of Watertown, N. Y., to undertake its 
preparation for the press. He has also added much 
from his own collection of material, and to him is 
due the entire remodelling of the E^epertory, which, 
in the first edition, was quite defective. 

My former partner, Dr. T. M. Dillingham, had 
kindly made a partial revision of the w^ork, but 
went abroad before its completion. 

It may be necessary to add, by way of a personal 
explanation, that my ^^ specialty'' lies in quite 
another direction than ^'Diarrhoea" or Materia 
Medica, and it is only as a lover of sound therapeu- 
tics that I have taken up these subjects. 

Dr. Ad. Lippe has contributed two annotated 
copies and many suggestions, and I wish to tender 
my thanks to him and to all who have added any 



8 PREFACE. 

observations to its pages, as well, also, to the great 
numbers in the profession who have so kindly and 
heartily commended the book. To me its only 
merit is its practical application of the principles of 
Hahnemann, and I am rejoiced, therefore, that so 
many still hold firmly to those principles and seek 
to be guided by them. 



EDITOR'S PREFACE. 

IN the revision of a monograph, like the present 
work, after the lapse of twelve years, many 
new remedies demand recognition. These may be 
conveniently divided into four classes. 

In the first, we place those w^hich have been 
thoroughly proved and repeatedly verified in prac- 
tice. 

The second consists of drugs, w^hich have also 
been well proved, but whose symptoms, as yet, lack 
clinical confirmation. 

The third embraces the medicines, of which we 
possess only fragmentary and imperfect pathogene- 
ses. These may be styled ''the suggestive reme- 
dies,'' and include such drugs as Goto Bark, Gent, 
lut., Geran., Gnaph., Hura, CEnothera, PauUinia, 
etc. 

The fourth division contains those remedies, 
whose indications are derived solely ab usit in 
morbis. 

Of the first and second classes, every remedy is 
plainly entitled to admission, ''of which enough is 



10 PREFACE. 

known, either of its stools or conditions or concomi- 
tants to distinguish it from any other remedy.'' 

Many of the drugs in the third class are doubtless 
valuable, and will prove of great service, when 
further provings, experience and observation have 
developed their characteristic indications. Some 
of them have already been successfully used in 
practice. Unfortunately, however, at the present 
time, the symptoms of the majority of these reme- 
dies, are too few and too uncertain to render their 
selection easy or to entitle them to a place in a work 
which is intended to be purely practical. 

Remedies of the fourth class — those having no 
basis except empiricism — must be viewed with dis- 
trust and received with great caution. 

In the second edition the same general plan has 
been followed as in the first, with the exception 
that the important symj^toms are italicized, while 
those, which are especially characteristic, are printed 
in black type. 

The term ^'cholera infantum" has been retained 
in many cases, which, according to strict pathology, 
w^ould be more properly designated as entero-colitis 
and gastro-enteric catarrh. Although this use of 
the term is not defensible from a scientific stand- 
point, it is sanctioned to such an extent by common 
usage, that it has been thought inexpedient to make 
any change. 



PREFACE. 11 

The present edition contains over 100 pages more 
than the first. Thirty-two new remedies liave 
been added, and tlie old ones thoroughly revised, 
and, in some instances, entirely re- written. 

Numerous clinical symptoms have been incorpo- 
rated with the text, but only those, w^hose genuine- 
ness is attested by trustworthy observers or which 
the writer has frequently verified in his own prac- 
tice. Many others have been rejected on the ground 
of insufficient evidence. 

The writer lays no claim to originality in the 
additions he has made to this work. His task has 
been mainly one of compilation. He has gleaned 
from our literature all that he deemed valuable, and 
has conscientiously endeavored to make the book as 
accurate and complete as possible ; yet none can be 
more painfully aware of the many imperfections 
and errors of omission, which it must necessarily 
contain. It is especially to be regretted, in this 
connection, that the request for contributions, 
printed in our journals, has met with such meagre 
responses from the profession; for it is only by 
unity of effort, that we can hope to attain the best 
results. 

The writer would gratefully acknowledge his in- 
debtedness to Drs. W. P. Wesselhoeft and Ad. 
Lippe for valuable notes and suggestions ; to Prof. 



12 PREFACE. 

E. A. Farrington for important information, and 
also for his kind permission to make free use of 
very complete notes of his lectures on Materia 
Medica; and to Dr. F. F. Laird for assistance in 
preparing manuscript.

INTRODUCTION. 



CHARACTER AND OBJECT OF THE WORK. 

THIS work is intended to apply to all loose 
evacuations of the bowels, and to describe 
them, their aggravations and ameliorations, with 
their immediate accompaniments and general ac- 
companying symptoms. 

The character of the stool is used as an adjective, 
and after it the word ** stool" is always to be under- 
stood. The semicolon stands for it. 

Under the head of aggravations and ameliorations 
those influences are given which affect the stool, 
and also those which act as exciting causes of the 
attack. When referring to other symptoms, they 
will be found indicated in parenthesis. 

The concomitants of the stool have been studied 
and observed with much care. 

The general accompaniments include all the symp- 
toms that occur during the attack. 

Under each of the best known remedies, some 
symptoms will be found italicised. These, it will 
be understood, are the symptoms which have been 
most frequently observed, and which also serve to 
most sharply distinguish that remedy from others. 
1 (13) 



14 INTRODUCTION. 

The more of these emphasized symptoms we have 
under any one remedy, the easier the selection. 
The sooner we are able by careful observation to 
emphasize symptoms under all our remedies, the 
more we shall perfect our art. It should be the 
self-appointed task of every Homoeopathic physi- 
cian, to confirm, and define, and add to, the symp- 
toms of all our remedies, but more especially of 
those that are but little known. Many of that class 
will be found in this book, some of which have 
many symptoms of clear and distinctive character, 
derived from provings, but whose relative and 
positive value awaits clinical determination. If 
those who use this book will add the fruits of their 
observations, by underlining and writing-in symp- 
toms, they will be gladly incorporated in a future 
edition, should any be required. 

The remarks, which follow nearly every remedy, 
should be understood as embodying only the per- 
sonal opinions of the writer, whether confirming or 
contradicting what may have been published by 
others. It is hoped that they may sometimes aid 
in the selection of the remedy, but they are of 
wholly subordinate authority to the text. 

THE SELECTION OF THE REMEDY. 

All who subscribe to the law of similars, agree 
that the problem in each case is to find a remedy 



INTRODUCTION. 15 

whose symptoms are most closely similar to the 
case in hand. This problem finds a somewhat dif- 
ferent solution, however, in different classes of mind. 

One class thinks the solution is found in a simili- 
tude to the pathological state. If able to diagnose 
hypersemia, hypersesthesia, ulceration, plastic exu- 
dation, atony, atrophy, hypertrophy, and so on 
through the catalogue, this seems to them sufficient. 
They have then only to diagnose a remedy produc- 
ing a similar state. This has a great fascination for 
some excellent minds, because it seems to utilize 
the splendid developments of Allopathy in this di- 
rection, and connect them directly with therapeutics. 

Another, and growing class, believes that those 
who stop here will never comprehend the true genius 
of Homoeopathy. The demand for exactness, mi- 
nuteness, and delicacy of observation in all branches 
of science was never greater. The same is true of 
Homoeopathic Therapeutics. Those who are ardently 
following in this direction, soon discover that the 
selection of the remedy requires, so to speak, two 
similars, viz., one corresponding to the general 
symptoms, or those which bring it into relation to 
the pathological state to be treated, and one corre- 
sponding to the special and characteristic symptoms, 
or those which bring it into relation with the indi- 
vidual case to be treated. 

To illustrate: a patient has stools consisting of 



16 INTRODUCTION. 

bloody mucus, small and frequent, with tenesmus. 
We diagnose dysentery ; hypersemia and inflamma- 
tion of the mucous membrane of the colon, with 
exudation of blood, and secretion of mucus. Forty- 
four volunteers stand ready, armed and equipped 
with a similar pathological condition. But we 
want but one, and how shall we learn which one? 
We must be more exact, and discover that our pa- 
tient has restlessness, dry heat, and much thirst. 
Our volunteers are now reduced to three ; but still 
too many. Applying our magnify ing-glass again, 
we observe a recent exposure to cold, dry wind, and 
a flushed face becoming pale, with faintness, on 
rising, and now we have the man we want. 

It becomes evident, therefore, that the individua- 
lizing symptoms possess the greater value, and are, 
indeed, indispensable to a certain selection. 

It should be noticed, further, that these distin- 
guishing symptoms are of all kinds and qualities, 
from the most purely objective and pathological, to 
the most subjective and delicate complaints which 
the organism is capable of uttering. As instances 
of the former may be cited, the green frothy stools 
of Magn. c, the dark acid urine of Benz. ac, the 
blue varices of Mur. ac, and of the latter, the ag- 
gravation from hearing water run, of Hydroph., 
from sudden depressing emotions, of Gels., and the 
relief, from cold food and drink, of Phos. 



INTRODUCTION. 17 

But whatever the character of these symptoms, 
in this particular, it is to be observed that they are 
hardly ever obtrusive enough to thrust themselves 
upon the notice of an unobserving man, and that 
they often require a patience and acuteness of ob- 
servation, hardly excelled by astronomers, micros- 
copists, and other followers of natural science. 

This mode of diagnosing the remedy is also irt 
exact accordance with that pursued in other sciencesv 
The chemist would be thought hardly worthy of his 
title, who should attempt to recognize arsenic by its 
cruder properties of color, weight, or taste. He 
must be familiar with its most delicate and charac- 
teristic tests and reactions. He does not ignore the 
other properties, yet it is only after applying the 
characteristic tests that he will give an authorita- 
tive decision, and on these he will rely, even in 
cases involving weighty questions of human guilt 
or innocence. 

But now the question arises, and it is a very im- 
portant and practical one ; suppose we find that the 
only remedy for a given case, that corresponds to 
the peculiar and individualizing symptoms, is one 
that has never been known to cause the pathological 
state under which our patient suffers. The answer 
is, that we may safely infer that the remedy does 
possess also the general and organic symptoms of 



18 INTRODUCTION. 

the case, and that it will remove them, together 
with the distinguishing indications. 

Thus has our Materia Medica been enriched by at 
least one-fourth of the most positive and valuable 
pathological symptoms wiiich we possess. Thus, 
for example, have we learned that Bry., Ars., Rhus., 
Bap., etc., have ulceration of Peyer's glands in their 
pathogenesis; that Hep., Lach. and Lye. produce 
pseudo-membranous exudation ; that Spong. causes 
and cures plastic endo-carditis ; or that (and a fact 
now published for the first time and obtained pure- 
ly hy observing the characteristic symptoms) Puis, 
and Sep. are known to cause and cure trachoma or 
granular conjunctivitis. 

Yet some affect to sneer at this method, and only 
a little time ago the author had the honor to acquire 
an enviable title, because he had observed the power 
of Podoph. to cure true pneumonia when selected 
by some characteristic symptoms, although it has 
never been known to produce that condition. 

Yet here, too, we are following closely the ex- 
ample of the chemist, who from the yellow band in 
the spectrum is able to assert that there is sodium 
in the sun, or from the lines in the spectrum of the 
Diirkheim spring- water, is able to declare that a 
new metal is there. He does not hesitate to attrib- 
ute form, weight, malleability, and other metallic 



INTRODUCTIOX. 19 

properMes to the stranger, long before he is able to 
possess himself of a little bar of Indium. 

Our conclusion, then, is, that the problem of selec- 
tion is solved by seeking the remedy which possesses 
the physical and diagnostic symptoms of the case, 
and which corresponds also to the special, distin- 
guishing, and peculiar symptoms which mark the 
individual case. And, further, if a remedy is found 
that possesses distinctly the latter symptoms, but 
not, so far as is known, the former, we may con- 
clude safely that it does possess the former, and ad- 
minister it with confidence. 

THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE REMEDY. 

In the present state of our science upon this point, 
each can only contribute the fruits of his own ob- 
servation. 

The writer began the practice of medicine with 
the preconceived idea strongly fixed in his mind, 
that, while the thirtieth potency might be useful 
and perhaps the best for chronic and nervous affec- 
tions, the lower and even crude preparations would 
prove more satisfactory for acute affections and par- 
ticularly for diseases of the bowels. 

Hard experience has taught him the contrary, 
and ^'though convinced against his will,'' he is not 
*'of the same opinion still." 

There is indeed a somewhat prevalent opinion. 



20 INTRODUCTION. 

that the strength of the dose makes up for want of 
due care or knowledge in selection. 

This may be stated in mathematical terms as fol- 
lows : if the thirtieth potency of Ars. is equal to a 
complete knowledge of the drug, one-fifth of a grain 
of arsenious acid is equal to complete ignorance of 
it. Stated in this, its true form, we grant it. 

Personally, our experience has been most satisfac- 
tory with the use of the t^velfth, fifteenth, thirtieth, 
two-hundredth,^ and often higher potencies, of our 
remedies, administered in water, and repeated 
every one to six hours according to the urgency of 
the symptoms, and suspended as soon as decided 
improvement appeared. If the same remedy was 
needed to be resumed again, it has seemed to do 
better in a higher potency, but on this point we 
cannot yet speak with entire assurance. 

We have not been able to perceive that age or 
sex or habits (we might add color, race, or order in 
natural history) form any element in the choice of 
the dose. All classses have been found to respond 
favorably to the high potencies. As regards tem- 
perament, we cannot speak with equal positiveness, 
but we have no certain testimony proving it to 
form an exception. 



* The two-hundredth proves more useful than anything lower, and 
we preYer it, but, until recently, many valuable remedies were not to 
be obtained in that potency.

Aeon, is especially useful in the very beginning of 
acute diseases of the bowels and is then often able to 
cut short dysentery and even cholera morbus without 
any other remedy. It is also a valuable intercurrent 
in dysentery, when Merc, corr., although indicated, 
fails to relieve. It closely resembles Dulc. and is fol- 
lowed well by that drug.

^thus. is suitable to a severe form of cholera in- 
fantum. It will usually be hardly able to complete 
the cure alone, but will need to be followed by an 
antipsoric; most frequently by Psor., Sep., or Sulph. 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 25 



4. AGAKICUS.

urging to stool, nothing but flatus being passed. 
Shooting and boring pains around navel increased by 
pressure. Intense griping pain across the lower part 
of the abdomen, especially on the right side. Lower 
part of abdomen swollen and sensitive to pressure. 
Cutting and pinching pains in rectum and loins.

bottle. Flatus smells very badly, and causes burning 
in the rectum. Urine generally profuse. Involun- 
tary urination. Heaviness and numbness of the 
thighs. Chilliness when leaving the fire. Repug- 
nance to open air, which, nevertheless, refieves. 



28 THE REMEDIES AND 

Aloe is one of our most valuable remedies for both 
diarrhoea and dysentery. The symptoms are marked 
and unmistakajple, as given above. Contrary to what 
might be expected, the peculiar gurgling in the ab- 
domen is often found with the dysenteric stool, when 
Aloe is indicated. The good appetite is most fre- 
quently met with in children. The haemorrhoids differ 
from those of Brom. in the relief from cold water, 
and from those of Muriatic acid, which are relieved 
by warm water and greatly aggravated by cold water 
locally applied.

ful. Inclined to be hysterical. Reeling vertigo in 
the morning, with faintness or nausea. Sfrabismus 
from weakness of internal rectus (during dentition.) 
Feeling of constriction in oesophagus when swallow- 
ing. Capricious appetite. Aversion to meat. De- 
sire for chalk, starch, clean white rags, charcoal, 
cloves, acids, ground coffee, tea-grounds, dirt, dry 
rice, and other unnatural and indigestible substances. 
Faintness at the stomach, relieved by satisfying the 
depraved cravings. Always worse after eating potatoes. 
Palpitation of heart with large and small beats inter- 
mingled. Violent colic. "Urine can only be passed 
with the stool or must stand up to urinate and then 
sit down to defecate. General debility. Chlorosis, 
Great dryness of all the mucous membranes. Dry- 
ness and harshness of skin with absence of perspira- 
tion. 

Alum, is sometimes useful in acute diarrhoea and, 
possibly, dysentery, w^hen the difficult expulsion of 
stool and urine exists. It is more frequently indicated 
in chronic diarrhoea accompanying chlorosis in slen- 
der delicate girls, with the depraved appetite and the 
aggravation on alternate days. With these symp- 
toms, a brilliant cure may be expected, including the 
chlorosis, if the remedy be not given too low, and too 
frequently. 

7. AMMON. MUK. 

Stool : Green, thin, mucous, (slimy); Yellow fecal 
and slimy. 



30 THE REMEDEIS AND 

Aggravation: In the morning: During the 7nen- 
ses : After meals : During the day : Walking in open 
air (nausea). 

Before Stool: Violent urging: Pain about the 
navel. 

During Stool : Tenesmus : Pain in the rectum :

tules near the anus. 

Accompaniments: Fretfulness. Face bloated, 
red, flushes easily. Bitter taste in the mouth, and 
bitter eructations passing ofi* after eating something.

walking in the open air. Pinching in abdomen, 
hindering inspiration. Much rumbling and emission 
of flatus. Ebullitions of blood, violent throbbing in 
arteries, with anxiety and feeling of paralytic weak- 
ness. Bruised pain in the whole body in the morn- 
ing after rising. 

Amm. m. is especially adapted to fat, sluggish peo- 
ple, with adipose tissue well developed on the trunk, 
while the legs are disproportionately small. It is 
useful for chronic diarrhoea occurring during the 
menses, when the other symptoms correspond. Many 
of the symptoms resemble those of Aloe but are 
milder. The green mucous stool may render it use- 
ful in infantile diarrhoea, but experience with it in 
this affection is yet wanting.

nate. The vomiting differs from that of Aeon., Ars., 
Verat., and other remedies, in the absence of severe

thirst, and in the white-coated tongue. From want 
of attention to these distinctions, this remedy is often 
overlooked, when it would bring speedy relief. 

9. APIS MEL.

ivatery; Yellow fecal; Clear (colorless) watery; Black 
watery; Olive-green, containing bright red lumps;

from anus, of which the patient is unconscious ; Fre- 
quent. 

Aggravation: Li the morning: From acids: In 
a warm room: From motion: After eating: Dur- 
ing dentition: During typhoid fever. 

Before Stool: Sudden darting pain in the rec- 
tum : Much rumbling of flatus.

Hands blue. Emaciation. Indescribable feeling 
of weakness. Anasarca, Ascites. 

In infantile diarrhoea and cholera infantum Apis 
is one of our most precious remedies, corresponding 
to a low and dangerous condition. The absence of 
thirst, existing with a dry tongue and dry, hot skin, 
is sufficiently striking to prevent confounding it with 
other remedies with similar stools. Still more char- 
acteristic is the bruised soreness of the abdominal 
walls. This is always present. Even when hydro- 
cephaloid ensues, and the previously distended abdo- 
men becomes sunken and flabby, there is still the 
same intolerance of the slightest pressure. When 
oedema is present it Avill be most frequently found in 
the feet and genitals.

and is sensitive to touch. Bed feels too hard. Best- 
less, constantly changing position.

easy. The marked gastric derangement is peculiar 
and characteristic.

ration. 

Great weakness; fainting; rapid exhaustion. Very 
rapid and scarcely perceptible pulse, or the pulse may 
be fast in the morning and slow in the evening. Rapid 
emaciation, with oedema of face and legs. 

There is reason to fear, that, as routine is easier 
than study, Arsenicum may have accomplished more 
harm than good in the hands of homoeopathic practi- 
tioners. No remedy has been more frequently given 
in acute affections of the bowels, while it is not the 
most frequently indicated, and it is not a remedy to 
be unwisely used. The symptoms w^hich most clearly 
distinguish it from other remedies with a similar 
totality, are the characteristic thirst and restlessness. 



40 THE REMEDIES AND 

These two must be present, as a general rule. The 
mucous stools are not usually offensive ; the watery 
ones are very much so, and often painless.

and jerking of the muscles. Hysterical spasms after 
snpj)ression of habitual discharges, as from an nicer. 
Glands swollen, hard and hot, with shooting, jerking 
pains. 

Asafoetida has a limited range of action, and is 
chiefly applicable to diarrhoea occurring in scrofulous 
children and hysterical women. The extremely offen- 
sive stool, and the generally reversed peristalsis are 
the leading indications for its use. 

14. ASARUM EUKOP. 

Stools : Tenacious mucous; Shaggy masses of 
mucus, of resinous appearance; Scanty, yellow, stringy 
mucous; In a long, twisted string; Odorless; Asca-

fetid odor. Tongue coated yellowish-brown in the 
centre, with red, shining edges. Little or no thirst. 
Great sinking at stomach, with frequent fainting.

pulse soft and full. Sleeplessness, or sleep with heavy, 
tiresome dreams. Bruised, sore feeling of the whole 
body, causing restlessness. Prostration more profound 
than the severity of the attach would seem to justify. 



44 THE REMEDIES AND 

Extended clinical observation has proved the value 
of Bapt. in both diarrhoea and dysentery, when as- 
suming the typhoid type. The tenesmus, with absence 
of pain and the characteristic tongue and mental 
symptoms, render its selection easy and certain. 

17. BARYTA CAKB. 

Stools: Papescent; Watery; Undigested. 

Aggravation : In scrofulous, dwarfish children : 
After taking cold: By lying on painful side (pains).

cervical glands and tonsils. Rheumatic stiffness and 
aching of the whole body, in damp w^eather. Child 
is slow in learning to walk. 

Baryta carb. wall occasionally prove useful in the 
diarrhoea of scrofulous children. The concomitant 
symptoms and the appearance of the child are more 
characteristic than the stool. 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 45 

18. BELLADONNA.

Granular, yellow, slimy mucous; White mucous; 
White, pap escent, fecal {as white as lime) ; Clay-colored ;

vated by bending the body to that side. Cutting, 
tearing, constrictive pains in abdomen, relieved by

ing sleep, with half-closed eyes. Drowsiness, with ina- 
bility to sleep. 

The pains appear and disappear suddenly. 

Belladonna will be found suitable for children 
more frequently than adults. It is often the only 
remedy required for severe cases of infantile dysen- 
tery. The drowsiness, with startings, dry heat, and 
frequent drinking, may be regarded as characteristic, 
if the other symptoms of the patient correspond. 

19. BENZOIC ACID. 

Stools : Watery, white, or light-colored; Like dirty 
soap-suds; Copious; Very offensive; Frothy bloody. 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 47 

Aggravation: In children: During dentition. 

Before Stool: Chilliness. 

During Stool : Urging. 

Accompaniments: Urine very strong-smelling; 
usually dark. Much exhaustion. Weakness. Per- 
spiration. Cold sweat on the head. 

The symptoms of Benz. ac. are not many, but 
they are genuine jewels. The offensive stools are not 
like those of any other remedy. The smell is strong, 
pungent, urinous, somewhat like that of the charac- 
teristic urine, which is also almost invariably present. 

20. BISMUTHUM, 

Stools: Papescent; Watery; Cadaverous-smelling; 
Painless, 

Before Stool: Rumbling in the abdomen. 

During Stool : Emission of fetid flatus.

face with blue rings around the eyes. Tongue thickly 
coated white. Thirst: drinks large quantities of 
water and vomits it immediately. Convulsive gag-

full, and is then enormous. Vomits water only; 
food is retained. 

Heaviness, pressure and burning in the pit of the 
stomach. 

Abdomen distended with flatulence. 

Great prostration, but the surface is warm. 



48 THE REMEDIES AND 

The value of Bismuth, in cholera infantum has 
not been fully appreciated. The excessive prostration, 
without coldness of the surface, will readily distinguish 
it from other remedies. In thickly coated white tongue 
and gastric symptoms it resembles Antimon. crud.

The value of Boletus must be determined by the 
crucial test of clinical experience. In many of its 
symptoms, it closely resembles Leptandria.

Stools : Light yellow, slimy mucous; Green mucous; 
Frequent; Yellow w^atery; Thin, brown, frothy, con- 
taining small pieces of yellow faeces ; Offensive, smell-

Stools : Liquid, yellow, fecal. 

Aggravation: Early in the morning: In the even- 
ing: At night: Before the menses: Daring the menses.

THEIR INDICATIONS. 51 

tcr after breakfast. Distension of the abdomen, with 
rumbling shifting of flatulence, and emission of much 
flatus. 

Bovista is chiefly useful for diarrhoea, occurring 
before and during menstruation. The menses are

One or two cases of Bromine diarrhoea, in its char- 
acteristic totality, are as many as can be expected to 
fall to one physician during a lifetime. Should the 



52 THE REMEDIES AND 

aggravation after oysters, however, become more fully 
confirmed, it will need to be used more frequently. 

25. BRYONIA.

Bryonia has not been one of the routine remedies 
for loose discharges from the bowels, nor is it desira- 
ble that it should become so, or that that list should 
be enlarged. It is, however, quite often indicated, 
and if administered according to the above symptoms, 
will not fail to repay the careful chooser. 

26. CACTUS GRAIS^D. 

Stools: Bilious; Watery; Mucous; Fecal; 
Bloody ; Abundant ; Frequent.

In selecting Calcarea c, the stool is of less import- 
ance than the person, and the concomitant symptoms. 
These often render it the indispensable remedy in 
psoric individuals. The smell of the urine cannot be 
described, but once smelled it is never forgotten. 
The color will distinguish it from that of Benz. ac. 
It is said to be suitable when persistent tenesmus re- 
mains after dysentery in children.

Tendency to marasmus or hydrocephaloid. 

Calc. phos. is one of our most valuable remedies for 
the diarrhoea of scrofulous and rachitic children. It 
can easily be distinguished from Calc. c, Silic, and 
SuL, by the concomitant symptoms. AVhen given in 
season, it will often prevent marasmus and is the first 
remedy to be thought of, in threatened hydrocephaloid, 
after the failure of China to arrest the disease. 

29. CAMPHOR. 

Stools: Dark brown; Blackish; Looking like 
coffee-grounds (fecal) ; (Watery ?) ; Large, thin ;

Cold sweat on the face. 

In Cholera: Great sinking and collapse, some- 
times without stool or vomiting. Cold as death, but 
cannot bear to be covered. 

Camph. is principally useful in the very commence- 
ment of diseases of the bowels ; later stages, presenting 
similar symptoms, requiring Verat., Cuprum, etc. 
"In Camph. collapse is most prominent; in Verat. 
alb. the evacuations and vomiting; in Cuprum the 
cramps." — Dunham.

THEIR INDICATIONS. 61 

Collapse^ with feeble pulse and cold hands and feet. 
Burning pains while the surface of the body feels cold. 

The appearance like scrapings of the intestines is 
the most characteristic symptom of Cantharis, and 
will frequently call for it when the more painful and 
violent symptoms are not present.

tion of coldness in the stomach. 

Tenesmus of ihe bladder, strangury. Frequent, 
unsuccessful desire to urinate, with burning in the 
bladder. 

Yawning. Sleeplessness. 

Capsicum is one of the royal remedies for dysentery; 
resembling Canth. much in its symptoms, but differing 
equally as much, as a comparison will show. When 
the choice becomes difficult, the drinking after stool 
causing shuddering, and the drawing pains in the 
back after stool, will fix the decision on Caps., and 
distinguish it also from Merc. corr. and Nux vom. 

32. CAKBO YEG.

64 THE REMEDIES AND 

in the beginning of any acute disease of the bowels ; 
but in the later stages it may become the only remedy 
capable of producing a favorable change. It will not 
often be required in cases that have had good homoeo- 
pathic treatment, but much more frequently in those 
coming from allopathic hands. After it are fre- 
quently suitable Ars,, China, Merc, sol., or Psor. It 
is also useful for the debility following a long-lasting 
attack of diarrhoea.

TITEFR TNDTCATrOXS. 67 

Novices often foil, with Chamomilla. It is not 
adapted to every case of diarrhoea during dentition. 
The mental symptoms are of chief importance, but 
the desire to be carried about is not alone decisive. 
If, however, the other symptoms correspond, particu- 
larly of the stool, this symptom will make the choice 
more certain. Cham, is not often indicated in cases 
of long continuance, and is often unable to complete 
the cure alone, requiring to be followed by Merc. sol. 
or Sulph.

stools. Inclination to sweat. Profuse night sweats. 

Rapid exhaustion and emaciation. 

After a long-lasting attack of cholera infantum, child 
becomes drowsy, pupils dilated, rapid and superficial 
breathing ; chin, nose and tips of the ears cold {impend- 
ing hydrocephaloid). 

During Convalescence: Much weakness and 
debility wdth pale face, ringing in the ears and ten- 
dency to dropsical swelling. 

China has a very strong resemblance to Carbo veg. 
The character of the stool will usually serve to dis- 
tinguish them, together with the fact, that with the 
former the stools are often entirely in the night, be- 
ing absent during the day, even in severe cases, unless 



70 THE REMEDIES AND 

they occur after meals, which is also an additional dis- 
tinction. When well selected, Chin, usually com- 
pletes the cure. In threatened hydrocephaloid, how- 
ever, it is often necessary to follow with Calc. phos. 

38. CICUTA VIROSA. 

Stools: Thin, slimy; Black offensive; Frequent, 
liquid ; Expelled suddenly. 

Aggravation: At 2 and 5 a.m.: By pressure 
(abdominal paius).

Vomiting alternates with violent tonic spasms of the 
pectoral muscles. Congestion of blood to the brain or 
chest after vomiting ceases. Violent jerking backward 
of the head. Staring or upturned eyes. Heavy 
breathing. Sopor. Convulsions. 

Cicuta is reported to have been used successfully 
in cholera, but clinical experience with it in diarrhoea 
is very meagre. The early morning stool w^ith its 
peculiar concomitants, the distended abdomen, and 
the longing for charcoal, seem to furnish character- 
istic indications. 

39. CIXA. 

Stools: Greenish, slimy ; Bilious; White, mucous, 
like little pieces of popped corn; Reddish, mucous; 
Bloody; Alternating with constipation ; Involuntary;

less sleep; wahlng frequently, or frequently changing 
position, waking with cries. Will not sleep without 
rocking, Grindiug of the teeth during sleep. Worm 
spasms : the child stiffen^ out straight. 

The accompanying symptoms, particularly those 
italicized, will more frequently indicate Cina than the 
character of the stools, and will render the choice 
easy. The characteristic urine is the surest indication. 

40. CISTUS QA^. 

Stools: Thin, grayish-yellow, fecal; 

Hot ; Squirting out. 

Aggravation : After-part of the night till noon:

stool are different. 

41. COCCULUS. 

Stools: Yellow, soft, fecal; Slimy; 
Fetid; Frequent; Painless. 

Aggravation: After drinking cold water:

Accompaniments : Over-sensitiveness. Excite- 
ment Wakefidness. Colic, as if the stomach had been 
overloaded. Aversion to open air, which also aggra- 
vates the symptoms. 

43. COLCHICUM. 

Stools: Watery; Changeable, greenish, yellowish, 
reddish, slimy, fecal ; Jelly-like mucous; White, jelly- 
like mucous, with spots and streaks of blood ; Transpa- 
rent, mucous ; Bloody, mingled with a skinny substance;

saliva causes nausea and inclination to vomit when 
swallowing it. Constriction of the oesophagus. Aver- 
sion to food on looking at it, and particularly when 
smelling of it. The smell of fish, eggs, fat meats or 
broth, causes nausea even to faintness. Violent vom- 
iting occurring with great ease, (with the watery 
etools). Vomiting of yellowish mucus, very bitter, 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 75 

preceded by long and violent gagging. Every mo- 
tion excites or renews the vomiting.

flatulence. Great swelling of the lower part of the 
abdomen. Coldness and oedema of the legs : cramps 
in the calves. Ascites. Urine dark brown and scanty. 

Much weakness and prostration. 

Colch. stands next to Podoph. in painless cholera 
morbus. It differs chiefly in the stools being smaller 
and less gushing; in the time of aggravation, and the 
presence of the nausea and vomiting. 

In dysentery the jelly-like and skinny stools are 
quite characteristic, particularly the latter. Other 
symptoms distinguish it from Aloe., Canth., and Kali 
bich.

exercise, (pains). 

Before Stool: Difficulty of retaining the stool: 
Cutting colic: Great urging. 

During Stool : Tensive pain in the forehead : Cut- 
ting colic: Tenesmus: Nausea: Burning along the 
urethra. 

After Stool : Cessation of colic, (or, more rarely, 
the colic occurs chiefly, and is very severe after stool) : 
Weakness, paleness, and great prostration : 

Burning and darting pains in the anus: Severe 
burning along the sacrum. 

Accompaniments : Tongue coated white or yel- 
low. Tongue feels scalded. Burning at the tip of 
the tongue. Bitter taste in the mouth. Canine hun-

urging to urinate, with small discharge. Retention 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 77 

of urine. Cramps in the legs and feet. Warm feet 
with cold hands. Chills proceeding from the ab- 
domen. 

Sleeplessness. 

The characteristic pains of Coloc. remain always its 
prominent indication. Whether they occur before 
or after stool, or during the interval, it will remove 
them, and with them, usually, the whole train of 
symptoms. Sometimes in dysentery, with much 
tenesmus, Merc, is needed afterward. 

45. COLOSTRUM. 

Stools: Green, watery ; Yellow; Watery ; M.\xco\\s>) 
Bilious; Profuse; Sour smelling ; Excoriating.

Accompaniments : Great nervous irritability or 
listlessness. 

Pale face. Tongue coated white or yellow. 

Vomiting of sour or bitter substances. 

Loss of appetite. 

The whole body smells sour. 

Fever. Emaciation. 

The symptoms of Colostrum are purely clinical, 
and like those of all other remedies, which claim re- 
cognition solely upon the basis of empiricism, must 
be regarded with distrust. Only a careful proving 
and more extended clinical observation can deter- 
mine their real value. 



78 THE REMEDIES AND 

46. COXIUM. 

Stools: Liquid fecal; mingled with hard lumps; 
Watery; Undigested; Sour;

In chronic diarrhoea of old men Con. is sometimes 
the remedy, as indicated by the stool and the urinary 
symptoms, with the tremulous weakness. It may also 
become indicated by the same symptoms in younger 
persons, and then, usually, women. 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 79 

47. COPAIV^3i:. 

Stools : White fecal ; Bloody ; Watery ; 

Copious; lovoluntary.

Amelioration : By bending double (colic). 

During Stool: Drawing, tearing colic: Chilli- 
ness: Tenesmus. 

Accompaniments : Loss of appetite. Nausea. 
Vomiting. 

If we had had any clinical experience with Copaivse, 
we might, perhaps, be able to emphasize some of the 
above symptoms. They seem sufficiently distinct and 
peculiar, but are too few to render a selection certain. 

48. CORPUS CIRCIlSrATA.

Rattling and rumbling in abdomen. Griping pains. 

Weakness of the extremities. Sleepiness. Chilli- 
ness, followed by flashes of heat and sweat. Debility. 

Cornus c. deserves more attention, and will be 
found frequently useful, by those who make the most 
of every well-proved remedy. 

49. CROTON TIGLIUM. 

Stools: Yellow watery; Dark green, or greenish- 
yellow liquid ; Tenacious mucous ; Brownish-green ; 
Undigested;

lowish-w^hite frothy fluids. Burning and pressure in 
the stomach. Colic and writhing around the umbili- 
cus. On pressing on the umbilicus w^ith the hand, a 
painful sensation is felt all along the intestinal canal 
to the termination of the rectum, causing the latter to 
protrude somew^hat. 

The three highly characteristic symptoms of Grot, 
tig., the yellow watery stool, sudden expulsion, and 
aggravation from drink and food, form a trio whose 
presence will render success certain and brilliant. 
This stool is not always painful. The other stools 
have the same conditions, and are also quickly cured 
by this remedy. 

50. CUBEB^gE. 

Stools : Blackish, yellowish, fecal ; Bilious ; Yel- 
low, transparent, mucous; mingled with ivhitish shining 
particles looking like kernels of rice ; Bloody mucous ;

In many of its symptoms, Cyclamen is almost iden- 
tical with Puis., but may be distinguished from the 
latter by the character of the stool, the aggravation 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 85 

after coffee, and the aversion to open air. Like Puis., 
it will prove especially valuable for the diarrhoea of 
ehlorotic women subject to sick headaches and men- 
strual irregularities. 

53. DIGITALIS. 

Stools: Watery, fecal and mucous; Yellowish- 
TN'hite fecal; Whitish or ash-gray fecal ; Involuntary.

paroxysms, with remissions. Severe, drawing, writh- 
ing pains in sacral region and bowels, radiating upivard

and toes become involved in spasms, so severe as to elicit 
shrieks. 

Abdominal pains suddenly shift and appear in dis- 
tant localitie^'^, as the fingers or toes. 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 87 

Pains ill the legs aud knees, relieved by motion, 
and by rubbing. 

Disposition to paronychia. 

Diosc. has a much narrower range than Coloc, 
but, as in the latter, the colic is the principal indica- 
tion. It is easily distinguished from the colic of any 
other remedy by the above symptoms. The disposi- 
tion to felons may be found with the tendency to 
colic. Whether met with thus or singly, Diosc. will 
usually cure whitlow if taken as soon as the pricking 
in the finger is felt, and greatly relieve, and hasten 
the termination, if taken later. 

55. DULCAMARA. 

Stools : Yellotvish, greenish, ivatery; Whitish, tva-

saliva. Much thirst for cold drinks. Loss of appe- 
tite. Nausea. Vomiting of mucus; of tenacious 
mucus. Pinching and cutting colic. Dry heat of the 
shin. General prostration. 

Dulc. is seldom required except in cases directly 
traceable to taking cold, or to a change in the wea- 
ther from warm to cold ; but then it becomes the in- 
dispensable and often all-sufficient remedy. In many 
symptoms it resembles Aeon, and Arsen. 

56. ELATEKIUM. 

Stools: Frothy, ivatery ; Dull, olive-green dis- 
charges, (mucous or fecal ?) ; Dark green mucous 
stool, in masses mixed with w^hitish mucus, streaked

the body and limbs. 

Deathly fain tn ess and exhaustion. 

Slow, weak pulse. 

Euphorbia apparently corresponds to a severe and 
dangerous form of cholera morbus and cholera, but 
experience with it in these diseases is entirely wanting.

when walking. Abdomen feels sore and bruised to 
the touch, and when walking. Hard and distended

and anus. Emaciation. Debility, Chlorosis, 

Exhausting sweats. 

Ferrum is sometimes required in cases of chronic 
diarrhoea, in both adults and children, with the above 
symptoms. Were it not for its excessive abuse by 
the allopathists, from whom such cases mostly come, 
it would be more frequently useful.

Offensive. 

Aggravation: In the morning: After coffee: On 
alternate days, a later hour each time.

fear and anxiety. The anticipation of any unusual 
ordeal — as appearing in public, undergoing an exami- 
nation, submitting to a surgical operation — is sufficient

Graph, occupies a subordinate position in the treat- 
ment of diarrhoea, but the emphasized symptoms de- 
scribe a condition sometimes met with, and often 
chronic, where it proves curative. It is especially 
adapted to fat, flabby persons, who suffer from con- 
stant chilliness, and are subject to eczematous and 
herpetic eruptions, which crack and ooze a glutinous 
fluid. These are apt to occur behind the ears or in 
the bends of the joints, and are associated with marked 
absence of perspiration.

There is reason to believe that Gratiola will prove 
particularly serviceable in cases of cholera morbus 
resulting from drinking excessive quantities of water 
of moderate coolness ; the quantity, and not the cold- 
ness, being the cause. 

63. GUMM. GUTT,

Gumm. gutt. is one of the most important remedies 
in the treatment of diarrhoea, both acute and chronic, 
and has also a place in the therapeutics of infantile 
diarrhoea, and of dysentery. It closely resembles 
Aloe. It may be distinguished, however, by the ab- 
sence of haemorrhoids, by the rapid expulsion of stool, 
and by the immediate accompanying symptoms of the 



96 THE REMEDIES AND 

stool as italicized above. When well selected, Gam- 
boge usually gives a prompt and permanent cure, 
Avithout subsequent aid from other remedies.

Hell. n. brings help sometimes, when without it help 
would be hard to find, or be sought in vain. The stool 
is chiefly characteristic, and is such as sometimes oc- 
curs in protracted and dangerous cases of infantile 
diarrhoea.

98 THE REMEDIES AND 

Hepar sul. occupies a leading position in the thera- 
peutics of chrouic cliarrhcea. The cases calling for 
it are among the most common. They come often 
from allopathic treatment, having abuse of mercury 
or cinchona, and often suppression of scabies, in their 
history. So many of the characteristic symptoms 
are referred to the stomach, that the cases might be 
classed under dyspepsia. It most resembles Lycop. 
The time of aggravation is the most constant distinc- 
tion. 

66. HIPPOMAIS^E MANCIIS^ELLA. 

Stools : Dark or black fecal, afterward watery ;

ened fat. 

Tympanitis. Drowsiness. 

Tliongli published nearly twenty-seven years ago, 
this remedy remains a stranger to most of us. The

tities of chocolate. Large quantities of tough saliva 
in the mouth, with constant spitting. 

Hydroph. adds an interesting and well-confirmed 
symptom to our repertory, in the aggravation, which, 
with the other symptoms, makes it applicable in dys- 
entery. Those who have scruples about using a 
remedy of this character, are at liberty to cure cases 
having this distinctive condition, with some other 
remedy, if they can. 

08. HYOSCIAMUS.

the abdomen. Pressing and bearing down toward 
the pelvis. Enlargement of the mesenteric glands. 
Urine ammoniacal. Sleeplessness. Emaciation. Pros- 
tration and debility. 

Iodine is suitable only to a chronic diarrhoea of an 
exhausting character. The restlessness is a constant 
desire for change of place, without anguish and toss-

Skin cool. Oppressed breathing. Suffocative catarrh 
of the chest. Spasms. Sleep with eyes half open.

during sleep. 

The continuous nausea is the most constant distinc- 
tive symptom of Ipec. The addition of the charac- 
teristic vomiting, and the violent colic is more rare, 
and renders the choice more nearly certain. This 
remedy is seldom suited to cases of long continuance, 
and is often unable to complete the cure alone.

The charactei'istic . symptoms of Iris v. are iiot 
among those of most frequent occurrence, but when 



106 THE REMEDIES AND 

met with are not difficult to recognize. It will be 
found applicable mostly to cholera morbus, occur- 
ring in the hottest of the season. It is said to have 
been used successfully in cholera, with icy cold tongue 
and general coldness of the surface; but these symp- 
toms need further confirmation before they can be 
accepted as reliable. 

73. JABORANDI.

Gushing; Painless, 

Aggravation: During the day (mostly between

Stools: Watery; Sour smelling. 
Aggravation : In infants : At night. 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 107 

Before and during Stool: Cutting colic.

Those who have used Jatropha in the treatment of 
cholera, have confirmed the above symptoms, and 
they are such as give it a prominent place in the 



108 THE REMEDIES AND 

treatment of the first stage of that disease, before the 
period of collapse. The albuminous vomiting is very 
characteristic. This and the other symptoms are also 
sometimes met with in cholera morbus. 

In some respects it resembles Ipec, but may be 
distinguished from the latter remedy by the burning 
thirst and violent cramps.

Kali bich. proves of great service in a variety of 
cases, but chiefly in dysentery, with the characteristic 
tongue and gelatinous stools. Sometimes, however, 
with those stools the tongue has nothing peculiar. 
The morning aggravation will then decide the choice. 
After Canth. has removed stools like scrapings, jelly- 
like stools will sometimes appear. Kali bich. will 
then complete the cure.

Some persons always have diarrhoea after eating 
veal. The curability of such cases with Kali nitr. 
needs somewhat more confirmation, but no other 
remedy has had this symptom so well confirmed as 
yet.

remedies, Kreos. occupies an important place in our 
therapia. The symptoms of the teeth and gums are 
especially characteristic.

Lach. is not often required in the treatment of di- 
arrhoea. In chronic cases, or when occurring in the 
progress of other acute diseases, it may become indi- 
cated by the concomitant symptoms.

spasmodic, at long intervals. 

The symptoms of Lauroc. remind us at once of a 
most severe and fatal form of cholera infantum. The 
rattling of drink as it rolls down the oesophagus is the 
most characteristic symptom, and one of evil omen. 
In these cases, the other symptoms corresponding, 
this remedy will save many otherwise fatal cases. 
The same remark applies also to cholera and cholera 
morbus.

Clinically, little is known of Lept.; but the symp- 
toms derived from provings are peculiar and distinc- 
tive, though not such as are often met with in prac- 
tice. The symptom of the region of the liver is found 
on the opposite side, under Natr. carb. The griping

ovarian irritation has been confirmed by abundant 
clinical observation.

Lycop. is one of the noblest monuments to the 
genius of Hahnemann, as well as one of the most con- 
vincing proofs of the homoeopathic doctrines. This 
innocent substance is developed by potentizing into 
one of our most valuable remedies for chronic diar- 
rhoea, as met with in weak, chlorotic, dyspeptic and 
debilitated persons. The characteristic symptoms 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 121 

are marked, and need no comment. The symptoms 
of the stool are subordinate. The "cliilliness in the 
rectum/' before stool, is a singular but genuine symp- 
tom, which further observation may prove to be 
characteristic. 

Before Lye. is frequently needed some other, not 
antipsoric remedy (often Nux vom.). 

87. MAGNESIA CARB. 

Stools : Green, watery, frothy, with green scum 
like that of a frog-pond; White masses, like lurnjos of

lent distension of the abdomen, Avith rumbling, and 
cutting and pinching colic. Sour smell of the whole body. 

Debility. 

Much of the ground which should have been occu- 
pied by Magn. carb. has heretofore been given to 
Coloc. and Merc. A better acquaintance with the 
former will prevent this in the future. It is a remedy 
of the first order in dysentery and infantile diarrhoea. 
The stools are highly characteristic. The bloody 
mucus is found mixed with the green watery stool, 
sinking to the bottom of the vessel and adhering 
there; but the watery stool occurs alone. 

It follows Rheum well, and is often required after 
that remedy to complete the cure.

urine or after it. Urine scanty, hot, bloody, re- 
tained or suppressed. 

Limbs feel bruised. Trembling of the limbs. 

Faintness, weakness and shuddering. 

In the absence of any provings except poisonings, 
the finer shades of Merc. corr. are not km wn. One 
thing is certain, however, that it is too frequently 
employed in dysentery, to which it is only applicable 
when occurring in great intensity and accompanied 
by the characteristic urinary symptoms, as given 
above. It follows Aeon. well.

night-stueat, particularly on the head, cold on the fore- 
head. 

Jaundice. Glands swollen and suppurating. 

Few remedies require more careful selection than 
Merc. Its symptoms, though marked and decided, 
differ more from other remedies in intensity than in 
quality, and it requires an observing experience to 
measure this difference. It differs negatively, how- 
ever, from many other similar remedies, wanting 
characteristics w^hich they possess. In psoric infants 
the choice has often to be made between Calc, Sil., 
and Merc, and must be made with care, as a mistake 
is not easily rectified.

full indications in typhoid fever, of which the diar- 
rhoea is only an accompanying symptom. It is also 
highly applicable to diarrhoea with protrusion of blue 
or dark purple hgemorrhoids, especially when occur- 
ring in feeble children, suffering from gastric atony, 
muscular debility and threatened marasmus.

Natr. Sulph. is one of the most frequently indicated 
remedies in cases of chronic diarrhoea, where the loose 
morning stool is the leading symptom. The flatulent 
symptoms are very characteristic, but not necessarily 
present. 

The tendency to "run rounds," or painful suppu- 
rations around the finger-nails, is often present, and 
is a strong confirmatory indication. The morning 
stool differs from that of Sulph. in occurring later and 
after rising.

This remedy resembles several others in the aggra- 
vation after milk, but differs from them all in other 
symptoms. We have had no clinical experience with 
it as yet.

Night-sweat. Debility. Intermittent pulse. 

Emaciation, especially of the upper arms and 
thighs. Enlargement of the glands. 

According to the published symptoms, Nitr. ac. re- 
sembles Alumina, but those symptoms are not con- 
firmed by clinical observation. The appetite for 
chalk, lime and similar substances obstinately refuses 
to yield to this remedy, and w^e are glad to notice that 
this symptom is not found in Hahnemann's proving. 
— As one of the remedies having green mucous stools, 
it should be studied in infantile diarrhani, particularly 



134 THE REMEDIES AND 

after abuse of mercury, or in children of syphilitic

or lie down. Sensitiveness to open air, or to a slight 
current of air. Heat, with red face and aversion to

Emaciation. Chlorosis. 

Nux vom. is often of first importance in dysentery, 
with the characteristic stools and immediate accom- 
paniments. In slow fevers w^ith alternating constipa- 
tion and diarrhoea, and in chlorosis, as well as jaun- 
dice, it holds an important place. In the latter 
affections the general symptoms, more than the stools, 
decide for this remedy. 



138 THE REMEDIES AND 

Nux must not be overlooked in the treatment of 
diarrhoea because more often used for constipation. 

100. OLEANDER.

and of undigested stool, as described above. 

101. OPIUM. 

Stools: Watery; Dark, fluid, frothy; 

Offensive; Involuntary.

and convulsions. 

102. OPUNTIA VULG. 

Stools: Dark, watery; Excoriating. 

During Stool: Nausea: Cramping pains in the 
stomach and bowels. 

Accompaniments : Nausea extending from the

bowels had all settled down into the hypogastrmm. 
Sensation as if the contents of the bowels in the lower 
part of the abdomen were very acrid ; w^orse in the 
median line. 

Feeling of prostration and coldness. 

The above symptoms of Opuntia have been fre- 
quently verified by. Dr. Burdick, of New York. It 
wall doubtless prove valuable in diarrhoea, when the 
seat of the disease is confined to the low^er portion of 
the abdomen.

{Guarcma,) 

Stools: Green, odorless, mucous; Profuse. 

Accompaniments: Loss of appetite. 

Restlessness. 

Sleeplessness. 

Although Paullina has been before the profession 
over twenty years, since its introduction by the 
Vienna pro vers, the concomitants are still almost un- 
known. The peculiar stool, however, has often been 
verified in practice and must always flirnish the lead- 
ing indication for the use of this remedy in infantile 
diarrhoea. 

105. PETKOLEUM. 

Stools: Yellowish, watery; Brownish-yellow, 
pasty ; Brown, watery ; Bloody mucous ; Watery 
and bloody, containing scrapings of the intestines ;

ger after stool, quickly sati.-fied. Exhaustion. Drow- 
siness. Emaciation, xlversion to the open air which 
causes chilliness. 

Restless sleep, the patient waking often, and im- 
agining that another jjerson lies sick in the same bed, 
or speaking of himself in the third person. 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 143 

The most striking symptom of Petr. is the last one 
meutioned above, and one that often indicates this 
remedy in delirious states accompanying diarrhoea, 
(or other affections). If unable to complete the cure, 
it will produce a favorable change, and prepare the 
way for some other remedy. 

It is also useful in chronic diarrhoea with the ag- 
gravations and other symptoms as given above.

144 THE REMEDIES AND 

During Stool : Smarting in the rectum : Protru-

The stools of Phos. are hardly characteristic unless 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 145 

the little grains of tallow (they resemble more opaque 
frog spawn, or sago, as we have seen them) should 
prove to be so. The condition and accompaniments 
are, however, very peculiar, and are also constant. 
They will always be present in more or less complete- 
ness when this remedy is indicated, and will render a 
brilliant cure almost certain, if the remedy is given in 
a proper dose, and is not repeated after the improve- 
ment has fully begun. 

The symptoms of Phos. are most frequently met 
with in chronic cases. It is often well to give a single 
dose of a high potency of Nux vom. a few hours before 
beginning with Phos., particularly in cases coming 
from allopathic treatment. 

107. PHOSPHORIC ACID. 

Stools: Whit isJi watery ; Yelloiu, watery, iv ith m eal-

quent emission of pale, watery urine, forming a white 
cloud at once, or opaque and milky when passed. 

Profuse perspiration at night. 

Cramps of upper arm, forearm, and wrists. 

Phos. ac. is one of the most prominent remedies for 
white or yellow watery diarrhoea, either chronic or 
acute. It is characterized by painlessness and the 
absence of any marked debility or exhaustion, the 
patient even gaining flesh in spite of the diarrhoea. 

108. PICRIC ACID. 

Stools: Thin, yellow, oily; Yellowish-gray (like 
gruel). 

Aggravation: After mental exertion (headache

erections. General sense of lassitude. The least ex- 
ertion causes prostration. Feet cold. Chilliness fol- 
lowed by clammy sweat. Great feeling of fatigue. 

Picric acid presents a perfect picture of *' brain 
fag/' and although not well defined as a remedy for 
acute diseases of the bowels, ought to prove service- 
able in diarrhoea, occurring in persons exhausted by 
mental overwork. 

109. PLAXTAGO. 

Stools: Brown, fermented, frothy ; Watery, brown; 
Watery; Papescent; Excoriating (watery, brown

The colic, relieved by eating, and the urinary symp- 
toms will distinguish Plantago from other remedies 
having similar stools. 

110. PLUMBUM MET. 

Stools: Watery, dark, offensive; Yellow; Mucous 
and bloody; Bloody; Profuse (watery stools); In-

lent screams: these pains may radiate to the brain, 
causing delirium; or to the lungs, producing dysp- 
noea; or to other parts of the body. Constriction and 
retraction of the abdomen. Sensation of something 
pulling at the umbilicus with actual retraction of 
the navel.

pasty; Black; Yellow, watery;

Softness of the flesh, with debility. 

Sallowuess of the skiu. Jaundice. Dark browu 
urine. 

Violent cramps of the feet, calves and thighs (with 
painless w-atery stools). 

There is no remedy so surely indicated by painless 
cholera morbus, as Podoph. The stools are profuse 
and gushing, each seeming to drain the patient dry, 
but soon he is full again. There may also be violent 
cramps. It would seem that it must prove to be the 
similar to raany cases of cholera, but clinical experi- 
ence in this direction is still wanting. We hope that 
some of our colleagues, who have the opportunity, 
will test it in this fearful scourge. In diarrhoeas of 
infants it ranks also among the first to be referred to. 
It resembles Calc. c. and Phos. ac, yet can easily 
be distinguished from the former by careful attention 
to the concomitant symptoms, and from the latter by 
the more rapid debility and exhaustion. 

112. PSORINUM. 

Stools: Dark brown, thin, fluid; Blach, watery; 
Green mucous, mixed with blood ; 

Very offensive, like rotten eggs; 

Frequent ; Involuntary ; Nearly painless.

hopelessness during convalescence. Child constantly 
fretting and worrying; nervous, cries out at night. 
Face pale, sickly-looking, emaciated. Eructations 
smelling like rotten eggs. Canine hunger, even after 
a hearty meal and at night. Canine hunger preced- 
ing the attacks. Loss of appetite, during convalesence. 
Desire for acids. Deep-seated, heavy pain in the re- 
gion of the liver, worse from pressure, lying on it, 
coughing, laughing, or on deep inspiration. 

Emission of fetid, sulphurous flatulence. Soft stool 
is discharged with difficulty. Sleepiness in the day- 
time. Great debility. Profuse perspiration from the 
least exertion, and at night. Restless sleep : awakens 
terrified. Skin dirty, greasy looking, with yellow 
blotches, here and there, and a partially developed erup- 
tion on the forehead and chest. 

Body always has a filthy smell, even after a bath. 

Although the dark fluid stool is very characteristic 
of Psor., the very offensive odor is much more so. 
This alone often indicates it in infantile diarrhoea, or 
in cholera infantum, whatever may be the stool ; and 
it will usually produce a favorable change at once, 
and often complete the cure. It is also valuable as 
an intercurrent, w^hen w^ell-chosen remedies fail to re- 
lieve, here rivalling Sulph. Whether derived from 
purest gold or purest filth, our gratitude for its excel-

ically.

The stools of Rhus tox. are quite characteristic, 
and many of the conditions and accompaniments are 
very much so. It is frequently applicable in dysen- 
tery, mostly after other remedies, and in a late stage, 
when the disease shows a tendency to assume a 
typhoid type. The craving for cold milk and the 
laborious dreams of excessive bodily exertion, as run- 
ning, wading in the snow, hurrying, and the like, 
are more characteristic of this remedy than of any 
other. It has been observed that Rhus tox. and 
Apis m. do not follow each other well.

The stools of Samb. present no special indications ; 
but the dry heat during sleep, breaking out into sweat 
on awaking, and the absence of thirst, are very char- 
acteristic; and when these concomitants are present, 
Samb. will quickly remove the whole train of morbid 
phenomena. 

121. SANGUINARIA CAIST. 

Stools: Watery; Thin, fecal; Undigested. 
Aggravation : After coryza and catarrh: After 
the pains in the chest.

usually accompanies the stools of the other remedy.

dislino'iiish it from many other remedies tluit liavc, 
otlier\vise, simihir symptoms, especially Arsen., which 
has desire for heat and covering. It may be dis- 
tinguished from Camph. by the violent thirst, and 
also by paying attention to the fact, that the cold 
spells of the latter remedy often occur at night, pass- 
ing off in the morning. The choleraic stool is not 
offensive, except perhaps at first, but that occurring 
in childbed is so. In cholera morbus it most resembles 
Colchicum.

symptoms. It is also applicable in chronic, debilitat- 
ing diarrhoea.

coDstitution, and overcoming fundamental psoric de- 
rangements. This renders it often indispensable in 
infantile diarrhoea and cholera infantum. It most 
resembles Calc. c. The characteristic perspiration on 
the head differs from that of the latter remedy in be- 
ing more general over the whole head and forehead, 
and in the sour, offensive smell. The forehead is also 
often cold, but becomes warm if lightly covered, 
which is a very marked. symptom of Silic. The per- 
spiration under Merc, is more oily and sticky.

Staph, is too often neglected. It is a valuable 
remedy for chronic diarrhoea or even dysentery of 
weak, sickly children, resembling Cham, and Merc, 
in many symptoms, but also showing marked and 
distinctive differences. A humid, fetid eruption is 
almost always present and furnishes a strong addi- 
tional indication.

entire loss of appetite and general coldness of the 
surface. 



174 THE REMEDIES AND 

Sulphur has a very wide range of application, being 
often required for every kind of loose evacuations, by 
virtue of its similarity, and also, when not distinct- 
ively similar, when the appropriate remedies fail to 
act, or when the improvement which they produce 
constantly gives way and the patient gets better and 
worse. The early morning diarrhoea is very charac- 
teristic. It is especially useful in dysentery after 
Aeon, has removed the acute symptoms, when the 
tenesmus has ceased, but blood is still discharged. 

131. SULPHUKIC ACID. 

Stools: Cliopp eel, saffron-yellow, mucous; Stringy; 
i^rofAy, mucous ; Watery ; Green, watery ; Black; Un- 
digested ; 

Offensive, smelling like rotten eggs, (watery stool). 

Aggravation: In children: During dentition: 
After eating : After oysters. 

Before Stool: Pressing in the anus. 

During Stool : Burning in the rectum. 

After Stool : Empty, weary, exhausted feeling in 
the abdomen : Pressing in the anus.

THEIR INDICATIONS. 175 

mixed with some alcoholic liquor. Cough, with 
belching of wind after coughing. 

Sensation of trembling without visible trembling, 
Ecchymoses. 

Child smells sour, despite the most careful washing. 

Great debility and nervous prostration. 

The stools and mental symptoms of Sulph. ac are 
very characteristic, when occurring together, and are 
mostly met Avith in children during dentition. 

132. TABACUM, 

[JVicotine,) 

Stools: Yellowish, greenish, slimy; Papescent, 
fecal ; 

Cholera, without stool, vomiting or thirst 

Aggravation : At night. 

During Stool: Colic: Tenesmus, 

Accompaniments: Collapse, anguish and rest- 
lessness, death-like pallor, coldness, fainting, cold per- 
spiration, deathly nausea without vomiting, or vomit- 
ing of water when moving. Child wants the abdomen 
uncovered, which relieves the nausea and vomiting. 
Great thirst, or thirstlessness. Burning in the stom- 
ach. Coldness in the abdomen. Hiccough. Vertigo. 
Oppressed respiration. Oppression of the heart 

Icy coldness of the legs from the knees to the toes. 
Warmth of the body luith icy cold hands. Cramps in 
the legs. Hepatic and renal regions sensitive to press- 
ure. Feeble, irregular pulse. Spasms or paralysis. 



176 THE REMEDIES AND 

Tabac. should not be overlooked in cholera in- 
fantum. 

133. TARAXACUM. 

Stools: Watery; Profuse. 

Accompaniments : Tongue, inside of month and 
fauces covered with a white, slimy coating, 'peeling off in 
patches, leaving dark red, sensitive places. Mapped 
tongue. 

Smarting, burning and rawness in the mouth and

Tough, ropy, sour-tasting saliva. 

Throat and larynx feel as if closed. 

Frequent hiccough. 

Rawness extending from the mouth to the stomach 
with burniog in the stomach, rising up toward the 
throat. 

Great exhaustion. 

Taraxacum can never become a routine remedy 
for diseases of the bowels; but we may prescribe it 
with confidence, when the above characteristic symp- 
toms of the tongue and buccal cavity are present. 

134. TAKTAR EMET. 

Stools: Light, brownish-yellow, fecal; Watery; 
Mucous; Bloody; Green, slimy, mucous; 

Frequent; Profuse. 

Aggravation: During exanthemata: During 
pneumonia : In drunkards : By pressure and bending 
double, (colic). 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 177 

Before Stool: Violent shifting of flatulence, with- 
out distension of the abdomen: Sharp, cutting colic: 
J^ausea. 

During Stool: Tenesmus: Nausea: Colic. 

After Stool: Belief of pains: Tenesmus: Burn- 
ing at the anus. 

Accompaniments: Great irritability. Child 
cannot bear to be touched or looked at. Headache. 
Desire for acids, fruits. Thirst for cold drinks, with 
desire to drink often and but little at a time, or thirst- 
lessness. Aversion to milk. Eructations smelling 
like rotten eggs. Continuous, anxious nausea, strain- 
ing to vomit, with perspiration on the forehead. 
Vomiting of food; of greenish, watery, frothy sub- 
stances; -of mucus; with great effort. Vomiting is ac- 
companied by trembling of the hands and fainting ; and 
isfolloived by great languor, drowsiness, loathing, desire 
for cooling things; pale, sunken face; dim, swimming 
eyes. 

Violent and painful urging to urinate, with scanty 
or bloody discharge. 

Balpitation of the heart. 3Iuch yawning and stretch- 
ing. Drowsiness. Somnolency. Jerking up of the 
limbs during sleep. Great prostration, cold sweat 
and thready pulse. 

Although not of frequent use in diarrhoea, Tartar 
emet. will repay careful study. Veratrum has doubt- 
less been given many times where the choice should 
have fallen on this remedy, as the colic, desires, and 
vomiting are quite similar. 



178 THE REMEDIES AND 

Tartar emet., hoAvever, has more drowsiness and 
twitching of the muscles than Verat. 

135. TEKEBINTHINA. 

Stools: Watery, greenish; Mucous and watery; 

Frequent; Profuse; Fetid, 

Aggravation: In the afternoon and evening: In 
the morning : During typhoid fever : During nephritis : 
From living in damp, dark dwellings. 

Before Stool : Colicky pains in the abdomen. 

After Stool : Violent burning in rectum and anus : 
Exhaustion : Fainting. 

Accompaniments: Headache. Vertigo. Flushed 
face. Tongue very red, sore, and glossy. Excessive 
tympanitis. Colicky pains in the abdomen. Abdo- 
men tender to pressure. Dull pain and burning in 
renal region. Pains extending down the ureters. 
Burning during urination. Violent strangury. Urine 
fetid, albuminous, scanty, dark, cloudy, and smoky. 
Haematuria. Prostration, with cold, clammy per- 
spiration, and thready, almost imperceptible pulse. 

The appearance of the tongue, the meteoristic dis- 
tension of the abdomen, and the urinary symptoms, 
form a group, which unerringly indicates Terebinth. 

136. THROMBIDIUM. 

Stools: Thin, brown, fecal; Mucous; Blood- 
streaked; Bloody; Purulent; Mucous and bloody, 
with hard, fecal lumps; 



THEIR INDICATIONS. 179 

Frequent; Scanty; In small, fecal grains j constantly 
oozing. 

Aggravation: In the morning: After eating and 
drinking: From fruit: From sugar: In childbed. 

Before Stool : Pain in the left side of the abdo- 
men , with perspiration : Oriping jpains: Sore pain in 
the intestines. 

During Stool: Pain in the ahdom.en continues: 

Tenesmus: Chills in the back: Much urging. 

After Stool : Tenesmus: Prolapsus ani : Burning 
in the anus : Great debility : Weakness in the knees : 
Colic temporarily relieved, but soon returns. 

Accompaniments : Fainting on rising up. Loss 
of appetite. Griping pains in abdomen, aggravated 
by eating or drinking. Violent colic, causing one to 
scream with pain. Abdomen very sore. 

There has been as yet but little clinical experience 
Avith Thrombidium, but it has marked and distinctive 
symptoms, which must render it a valuable addition 
to the Materia Medica. 

It may be distinguished from Nux vom. by the im- 
mediate concomitants of the evacuations; from Merc. 
by the absence of the sweat and the greenish, bloody 
stool, so characteristic of the latter remedy; and from 
Sulph. by the aggravation after eating and drinking. 

137. THUJA OCC. 

Stools: Pale yellow, watery; Oily or greasy; 
Bloody ; 



180 THE REMEDIES AND 

Forcibly expelled; Copious; Gurgling like water 
from a bung-hole. 

Aggravation: In the morDing: After breakfast: 
After coffee: After fat food: After onions: Period- 
ically returning in the morniDg, always at the same 
hour : After vacciriation. 

Before Stool: Rattling of flatulence. 

During Stool: Passing of much loud flatus. 

After Stool : Debility.

crown remaining sound. Much thirst or violent thirst. 
Drink falls audibly into the stomach. Desire for 
cold food and drink. Rapid exhaustion, causing 
oppressed and short breath ; irregular and intermit- 
tent pulse. Rapid emaciation. 

It will hardly be easy to make a mistake about 
Thuja. No other remed}^ has the same combination 
of symptoms. Gratiola resembles it more than any 
other, but is easily distinguished by the aggravations 
and accompaniments of Thuja. This remedy is ap- 
plicable to chronic diarrhoea, particularly when trace- 
able to vaccination, and should not be forgotten in 
cholera morbus, or in cholera infantum. In the latter 
affections it has a close resemblance to Laurocerasus. 

138. VERATKUM ALBUM. 

Stools : Greenish, watery, with flakes; Brownish, 
watery; Blackish, watery; Bloody; Frequent; Pro- 
fuse (ivatery); Bilious; Mucous; Corrosive; Some-

tigo with cold perspiration on the forehead. Hippo- 
eratic countenance. Cold, pale, or bluish face and 
lips. Sunken eyes. Contracted pupils. Lips dry 
and dark. Tongue cold, or coated white, with red 
tip and edges, or coated yellow, or dry and cracked.

8 



182 THE REMEDIES AND 

Abdomen sensitive to pressure. Hoarse, weak voice. 
Oppressive and spasmodic contractions of the chest. 
Cold breath. Retention or suppression of urine. 

Excessive anguish, arresting the breathing, with 
desire to sit up or jump out of bed. Excessive weak- 
ness. Fainting. 

Violent cramps of the extremities. Wrinkling of 
the skin of the hands and fingers. 

Skin cold, blue, remaining in folds when pinched. 

Veratrum is a remedy of great value, and one very 
often required, but like all others it demands a care- 
ful selection, and is not to be given in every case of 
cholera morbus or of cholera. The most characteristic 
symptoms are the same in both cases, only more vio- 
lent in the latter. The immediate accompaniments of 
the stool, with the thirst and cravings, distinguish this 
remedy. Verat. is seldom indicated in painless cases. 

139. ZIXCUM MET, 

Stools : Papescent, enveloped in bright red, foamy 
blood ; Bilious ; Thin, pale, bloody ; Offensive ; Alter- 
nating w^ith constipation.

motion of hands and head, or of one hand and the 
head : Coma, the pulse coming in long waves. 

Sleep restless with starting, jumping, screaming 
out, twitching of muscles, and jerking through the 
whole body during sleep. Wakes frightened, stares, 
rolls the head from side to side. 

Zinc, is rarely, if ever, required in the beginning 
of either diarrhoea or dysentery, but is often useful in 
later stages, when the cerebral symptoms indicate ap- 



184 THE REMEDIES AND THEIR INDICATIONS. 

proaching hydrocephaloid. Deficient nerve power is 
the great characteristic of the remedy, as shown by the 
convulsions occurring with pale face and without any 
increase of temperature. This symptom alone will dis- 
tinguish Zinc, from Bell, and other allied remedies. 

140. ZIINTGIBEK.

Pains in the stomach. The taste of all food remains 
in the mouth for hours, particularly of bread or toast.

Much flatulency, causing rumbling and rolling in the 
bowels. Nausea. Loss of appetite. 

Hsemorrhoidal tumors, hot, and painfully sore, 
whether sitting or lying. Inflammatory redness, itch- 
ing, and burning in and around the anus. 

If the symptoms of Zingiber be further confirmed 
by clinical observation, it will fill an important place 
in our therapia. The aggravations are peculiar, par- 
ticularly the aggravation from drinking impure water.
